Chapter 140: Outbreak (I)

On February 20, 2012, the Los Angeles Lakers played at home against the Portland Trail Blazers.

Tonight Andrew. Bynum is still sidelined, but Bryant has recovered from seven, seven, eight, eight, so the latter will play tonight.

Because there are not many highlights of this game, it is broadcast live in the United States, and it is still not ranked.

Compared with the slightly cold United States, the other side of the ocean, the Eastern world, is enthusiastic.

Many fans waited early in the morning in front of the television, just waiting for the game to begin.

"Hello everyone, this is Chao. Ting Sports Channel, I am Yu Jia, I am Yangyi. ”

"Today is Tang Qian's first game to officially join the Lakers, I don't know what you think of this game?" Yu Jia spoke first.

"I don't think you should expect too much from this game." A typical overflowing answer style, half-concealed and half-hidden, wanting to refuse and welcome, and arousing people's appetites.

"Oh? Why? Yu Jia and him are also old partners, so they are very familiar with how to talk.

"Because of the 'explosive' performance like yesterday, Tang Qian may be difficult to present today." Yang Yi said eloquently: "I'm not belittling Tang Qian, it's mainly a matter of hard ability, if he can really break out continuously, then there is no doubt that he will be the next Linsanity, after all, Los Angeles is also a megacity, and it has the strength to build momentum." ”

"Well, that makes sense, then do you have any expectations for Tang Qian today?" Yu Jia continued to ask.

"Looking forward to it, there's really one!" Yang Yi said: "I hope his block statistics can continue to be maintained, because if he can win the NBA block king, Tang Qian can earn an extra $1 million this season, right?" ”

"Okay. It's just a joke. Yang Yi smiled and said, "The reason why I would expect his block data." Mainly because: It's the only NBA list he's ever been able to make on. And the yellow block king, the history of the NBA for nearly 70 years, has never appeared, if he can do it, then this alone is enough to go down in history. ”

"The king of the single list, let alone the king of the cap, I remember that there has never been a yellow person in any king, right?" Yu Jiadao.

"Pretty much that's it." Yang Yi replied.

"But the timing of Tang Qian's joining the NBA is not very good. Since the game against the Celtics on February 9, the Lakers have played 25 games in the past, and this season is a shortened season, in terms of qualification, is it too late? Yu Jia said.

"Let's put it this way, the NBA's single data king, the selection rules are as follows." "For example, if you want to compete for the scoring title, then there are two hard conditions, one is to play 70 games. The other is a score of 1400 or more, which is worth mentioning. These two conditions are not required at the same time. According to the NBA's rules, only one of the two conditions needs to be met to automatically qualify for participation. Therefore, the participation conditions of the block king are similar, in addition to the need to play 70 games, the remaining one is to reach or exceed 123 blocks, as long as one of the two meets the standard, you can participate in the competition. In addition, the conditions for the participation of the rebounding king, the assist king, and the steal king are also similar, except for the attendance rate of 70 games, and the other is 800 rebounds or 400 assists or 100 steals, and one of the two conditions can be met. ”

"According to this participation rule, Tang Qian's first attendance rate has been hung up, even in the shrinking season, only 41 games have been played, it is still a little less, and it is not qualified to be selected for any single list." Yangyi bought a pass and said, "Then since this is the case, why does Tang Qian's incentive option still have this column?" Yang Yi said: "This involves the second hard condition I just mentioned, since the attendance rate is less, what should I do?" As long as he accumulates more than 123 blocks in the remaining games, Tang Qian is still eligible to compete for the title of king of blocks. ”

"I see, but today I have a lot of knowledge." Yu Jia sang and said with him.

"Now Tang Qian's average block per game is 3.0 times, and I remember that the Lakers have 35 games left to compete, which means that in the remaining games, Tang Qian still needs to contribute an average of 3.0 blocks per game to qualify." Speaking of this, Yang Yi shook his head and said, "3.0 caps, it's easy to say and easy to do...... It's so hard! ”

"yes, I remember last season's block king, who only averaged 2.6 blocks per game, right? Tang Qian wants to maintain an average of 3.0 blocks per game until the end of the season, and the difficulty is not ordinary! Yu Jiadao.

"Why isn't it ordinarily difficult?" Yangyi spoke again: "Going back up, do you know when there will be a block king who averages more than 3.0 blocks per game?" It was the '07-08 season and I remember it was Marcus. Camby, averaging 3.6 blocks per game and over 280 blocks total for the season! And that era, it was the era when Maddie still scored 20+, and it was the era when Da Yao still scored 20+, look at the distance, how many years have it been? Therefore, if Tang Qian wants to reach an average of 3.0 blocks per game, the difficulty is definitely extremely large! ”

"That's right." Yu Jia said: "I just checked the data, and the data shows that this season's block king is Sergi for the time being. Ibaka, and he averaged 3.7 blocks per game! In this way, even if Tang Qian maintains an average of 3.0 blocks per game until the end of the season, it will be difficult to get his hands on this season's block king! ”

"3.7 blocks per game." Yang Yi pushed his glasses and said, "Do you know who the last person to reach this number was?" ”

"Who is it?" Yu Jia said very cooperatively.

"Alonzo. Alonzo. "It was 3.7 blocks set in the '99-00 season. ”

"So it's been 12 years?" Yu Jiadao.

"So it's unimaginable to surpass this data." Overflowing.

"It looks like Tang Qian dug a big hole for himself." Yu Jia said.

"Yes, but it's like a carp jumping over the dragon gate, and if you can't jump, you will fall to your death. If you skip it, it will change. Jackie Chan in one fell swoop! Yang said.

"That's good. The game is about to start, so let's take a look at the starting points of both sides tonight. Yu Jia said: "The starting lineup of the Los Angeles Lakers tonight is, Kobe Bryant. Bryant, Paul. Gasol, Derek. Fisher, Tzu Shiping, Troy. Murphy. The Portland Trail Blazers' lineup is LaMarcus. Aldridge, Nikulas. Batum, Raymond. Felton, Gerald. Wallace, Marcus. Camby. Not surprisingly, Andrew. Bynum continues to miss the game. ”

"It doesn't matter." Yang Yi said: "Andrew. Bynum is not absent, the Lakers' paper strength is higher than that of the Portland Trail Blazers, as long as they don't make mistakes tonight, there is no problem in winning the opponent. ”

"Let's watch the game......"

……

As a result of the completion of the task of the release of "different space". Successfully staying in the NBA, Tang Qian's reward is the bronze power booster card, its effectiveness is similar to the silver power booster card, within five minutes, the body strength is increased by 0.5 times.

In addition to this, there is a new change that has caught Tang Qian's attention.

At some point, a calendar appeared in the "different space", but the strange thing was that there was a blank space on this calendar-like thing.

Right. It's just a blank slate, empty.

This...... What is it?

For the urine of the "heterospace". Tang Qian knelt down again, still no introduction, no explanation, everything was based on blind guessing.

That's enough! Couldn't this damn "different space" be a little smarter?

Tang Qian complained slightly, and then withdrew from this "ghost place".

In this game, Tang Qian's good luck was gone, because the Lakers played extremely smoothly all the way, so there were not many opportunities for him to perform. After only playing for more than 5 minutes, he got 4 rebounds and 1 block, and Tang Qian's journey as a pioneer came to an end.

The Lakers easily defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 103-92.

This is the sadness of pure substitution, the playing time is very limited, so it is very difficult to brush up on good statistics.

4 rebounds, 1 block and 0 points, which is Tang Qian's report card tonight.

Tang Qian was naturally dissatisfied, but he only had so much playing time, and he couldn't help it.

Suddenly, the domestic media were booed.

Tang Qian's state is declining, and his future is worrying!

Lazy after signing a contract? This is an act of seeking death!

Loss of motivation! Tang Qian's magic is no more!

Show one’s true colors? Or is it just that? Tang Qian's true strength is doubtful!

This is the direction of the domestic media, big praise and stomping, either pink or black, no patience and objectivity at all, all headlines are for eyeballs and attention as the criterion.

The major forums are also full of discussions, such as "luck theory" and "one theory", etc., which are very loud and continuous in an instant.

There are even some fans of "Yi Di" and "Sun Dasheng", who ran over to "sneer" and "fall into the ground", hoping that Tang Qian would also be like Yi Di and Sun Dasheng, acting in a mess, and finally leaving the NBA in disgrace.

But compared to China, the United States is much calmer, because in their opinion, Tang Qian is just a small role, and it is expected that he can applaud well and play badly, and there is nothing to care about.

The same thing continues, in the game against the Mavericks on February 22, Tang Qian once again only played 4 minutes, 2 rebounds and 1 block, and the data is unbearable to look at.

This time on the other side of the ocean, Tang Qian has already confirmed the ironic nickname of "sugar water", and the number of sunspots is increasing exponentially every hour.

"I knew he was just lucky, I really thought he could eat dumplings every day? Still compared with Yi Di? I'll talk about it after Sun Dasheng's pass first! "It's a place called "Tang Diving True Water. B" people left words, the content of which can be understood at a glance, he is a Tang Hei.

"I heard Tang Mi say it a few days ago, saying that Tang Qian signed a basic salary, which is a big loss, but what about the facts? The truth is that the Lakers signed a big deal. B, it's the real victim! "Someone echoed" Tang Qianzhenshui. B" Road.

"What about Tang Mi? How can you fight badly and then disappear? Didn't you blow him some time ago, is he stronger than Emperor Yi? Where have they all gone now? ”

"What's stronger than Emperor Yi? Yi Di was a high-ranking rookie back then, are you blind when you are a professional in the old beauty? ”

"Forget it, don't do too much of everything, give Tang Mi room to cry!"

……

"Don, how are you feeling? I look at your last two games. The data isn't good. "Taylor. Swift asked over the phone.

"Hmm. It's okay. It should be nice to tweak it. Tang Qian said casually.

"Don't worry, take your time, you'll be able to find your form one day." Taylor is usually very busy and can only find time to read the Lakers' game reports, so she doesn't know the details of these two games.

Tang Qian responded, but said in his heart, don't give me time to play. What if I'm in good shape?

It's disgusting!

In fact, Tang Qian couldn't complain about Mike. Brown, because generally speaking, the main lineup played smoothly, and who will remember a fringe sub? Isn't this nothing to do for yourself? Besides, discovering new people and enabling new people is not Mike. Brown's strengths and coaching purpose. For a team that is aiming to regain the championship, utilitarian, that's necessary, so Mike. Brown must use his strength to improve the Lakers' record and winning percentage. He knew very well what the purpose of hiring him above was, not what to look to the future. One word, now, is now.

Hence Mike. Brown's perception is also very clear that if you want to stay with the Lakers for a long time, there is no other way but to win, only to win. And as we all know, rookie players, that is definitely the most unpopular group of people for head coaches, especially for this Lakers team, in order to ensure a winning percentage, Mike. Brown can only use less rookies and more. the main force. Bryant's average playing time this season is nearly five minutes more than last season, which is the best proof of this.

Don't think that Tang Qian can get favor after playing a few good games, and since then the status of the team has been on the rise, and the high-pick rookie has been suppressed because of the coach's coaching purpose, and the matter of being hidden in the snow is not uncommon in the long history of the NBA. A typical example is the No. 2 show of the 03 platinum generation, Daktronics. Milicic was once considered a Serbian talent with as much talent as Zhan Huang. Take a look at Milicic's scouting report back then, and you will find that it is simply not inferior to Zhan Huang.

…… He can open the bow with both left and right hands, has strong scoring ability on the inside, strong body coordination, strong explosive ability on the inside, has the general level of ball control as a forward, and can be competent in any position except for the playmaking guard...... He has a wide range and three-point shots, and his shooting feel is quite soft...... Suggested template, Dirk. Nowitzki, Kevin. Garnett, Larry. Bird.

If this scouting report wasn't enough, Milicic won over then Pistons general manager Dumas in just 45 minutes on his first tryout, and even forced the latter to swear in a row, and the excitement was palpable.

That's why the Pistons gave up on Cameron. Anthony, instead chose this underage kid from Serbia.

But the final result, everyone knows, the genius has not yet risen and has come to an end.

The iron bench for three consecutive years has directly inhibited the growth of this talented player, and Larry. Brown always satirized Milicic in front of the media, which devastated his spirit and will. As a leader in 03, as a genius who became famous as a teenager, what does it feel like to have no chance to perform for 3 years? In 3 years, LeBron has evolved to an average of 30+ per game, and Anthony also averages 26+ per game, but what about him? It's still time to clean up the garbage, and the average score is only 1.5 points per game! As a young genius, who is not a little proud? But the huge gap between reality and ideals directly tore apart the heart of this Serbian teenager.

And as a professional athlete, what are you most afraid of?

It's not an injury, it's not a low tide, it's not a mockery...... It's the heart.

Without the heart to become a strong man, then a lifetime of achievements is limited to death, Daktro. This is the case with Milicic.

In the scolding of "parallel goods", I gave up being strong, giving up continuing, and giving up pride...... Until the end, he even gave up basketball. There are many more examples of the same, such as Kwame. Brown, such as Danny. Ferry, e.g. LaRue. Martin and so on, these people were all the top three rookies of the year, and in the end they were either saddled with the infamy of "parallel imports" or disappeared. But they all have one thing in common, that is, the playing time in previous seasons is pitiful, with a maximum of ten minutes, which is completely different from LeBron and Cameron. So over time, talent and confidence wear out, and in the end, it is not surprising that everyone else will disappear. To put it mildly, the Pistons were long-time championship contenders. Brown's kind of head coach who is not very interested in newcomers, even if LeBron and Cameron join the team, it is the fate of "being abolished". Can you imagine LeBron. Did James average only about 5 minutes per game in his first three seasons? Can you imagine Cameron. Anthony has been on the bench for a long time in the first three seasons, can he only play in garbage time?

And now the situation of the Lakers is somewhat similar, as a strong contender for the Western Conference in recent years, the championship contender. Brown was tasked with winning the championship. As for how he wins the championship and whether he accompanies or not, it is not a matter that the above will manage, because as the owner of the Los Angeles Lakers, they have money, but they have little patience.

This Mike. When Brown first came to the interview, he already knew it.

So in order to keep the job, mad. Exercise. The main force has become his only choice.

This is not Cleveland, from the players are all owners, there is no patience and habit of waiting.

If you look at the Lakers' championship history, you can understand that they have always had a superstar policy, and they especially like to force the stars of other teams to enrich their own power - SO, quick success, is the real attribute of this city.

No one here likes to wait.

It doesn't make a difference whether it's the owner, the players, the fans. (To be continued.) )
